BEGINNING A RAILROAD.-Major j. w.
Wilson, of Morganton, chief engineer Of
the Southern and Western Airline Rail-
road Company, arrived in Shelby on Mon
day afternoon, with a set of instruments
for a surveying corps and prepared to be-
gin the survey for his company. He en-
gagged Mr.. II. Warren Clover, of Shelby,
to take charge of the corps under his direc-
ton, and to begin work at once. Mr..
VIM. G. Corbett, of Shelby, was also ap-
pointed to a place on the corps.
The corps was organized at Fallston on
Tuesday afternoon, after which work was
begun on the line from there to Shelby.
From Fallston three lines northward will
be run, one direct to the gap in the South
Mountain at Three County Corners, one to
the same point by way OF Schenck's facto-
ry, and one by way of Schenck's facto-
run from Shelby up the ridge on the west
side of the First Broad river, and Major
Wilson states, any other route that may
bid fair to be practicable will be examin-
ed. Grading, he says, will be commenced
before November 1, the time allowed in
the terms of the subscription of Cleveland
county.
The bonds of Burke county voted to this
company have been ordered to be printed
and will be placed in the hands of Mr..
John H. Pearson, as trustee. It will be
remembered that a majority of the votes
cast in the election in Burke county were
in favor of the subscription, but they did
not constitute a majority of the registered
vote. Major Wilson states that there will
be no opposition in the county to the issue
of the bonds, and it is the opinion of Judge
Avery that the Supreme Court would sus-
tain their validity if it should be called
into question.-Shel6y NeU Era, 31st.

recovered. Then came the conjecture that
there was a purpose to corner September.
The visible supply of American cotton
in the markets of the world is the smallest
in many years, being 1913, 800 bales less
than one year ago, and 227 1000 less than
three years ago while the entire stocks in
American markets are only 1l6 $500 bales
against 226 1000 bales one year ago. Spin
ners, at home and abroad, do not seem to
have much cotton on hand, for the de-
mand from them is so urgent as to support
and advance prices. The new crop must
come forward very freely to supply the
deficiency above shown hence the project
ell corner. The bulls may find, however,
that there is very little short interest in
September for them to work upon, while
the regular demand may not be more ur-
gent than can be met by the increased ia
cilities of moving the crop-Which, by
the way, is somewhat earlier than last
year. So the matter stands.
With regard to the next crop, q gentle
man who gives close attention to the mat
ter (and who has, thus early in the season,
estimated several crops with remarkable
accuracy, estimates that it will yield lit
tie if any less than even million bales:
But for the injury done it in the past
month it would, he thinks, have reached
$500, 900; and on this estimate some OF the
bears are looking for very low prices for
the winter months.

LETTER FROM CLOVER,

CLOVER, September has been some
time since Glover has appeared before the
ENQUIRER readers or local matters; but
feeling happy and cheerful this lovely
morning, we want to send a few lines to
our friends, and let them know that we
are still here.
Although the cry has been hard times;
our merchants are beginning to chew theil
bits and stir around, expecting a good
trade this fall. 49,
Our school, too, has opened up with a
good prospect. Major N. P. Rankin, OF
franklin, N. c., is now in charge. He is
a man of many years experience, and a
gentleman Of the highest type-a man
worthy of the confidence of a Christian
community. Boys or girls placed under
his care will receive that consideration and
kindness next in kind to that of a parent.
Speaking of the boys and girls reminds
me of the babies. Clover has more babies,
and prettier babies, than-than-well, iii
put up Clover against any place of equal
size in the State, and [ will put up the
mothers too. Bless the mothers! Yes,
we want to have a baby show along about
Christmas, 1--WE are not quite ready yet
and we will. put in the mothers and mar
ried women and widows too; and if there
is any other place that can beat US on
those two exhibits, we will "set up." AS
for the young ladies, we could safely place
them against the United States and Can
ada.
SIN the midst of life we are in DEATH"
Our church is called upon to mourn the
death of one of its members, and the com
munity the loss of a good citizen. Mr..
R. E. D. Currence died at his home two
miles east of here last Sunday evening at
5 o'clock.
Our cotton buyers, though laboring I'M
der the disadvantage of having no tele-
graphic communications, are going to keep
up the cotton market here. So bring on
your cotton, and you will get all that can
be paid on this market. The first bale
of the season was sold to-day by J. A.
Jackson, and bought by J. R. Barron & Co.
at 81 cents. J. D. G.

WAS TT L?

An incident involving some mystery is re-
ported to us as having occurred at the camp OF
Mr.. Jackins' force on the railroad work near
Hickory Grove, on Sunday last. About l P.
NJ. on that day a we'll dressed man of good
department rode up to the camp and inquired
if a man was there by the name of William
Carpenter, Jr. He was answered in the affirm
alive and Mr.. Carpenter was called up by some
Of tho men. The horseman introduced him
self as Mr.. Littlejohn, and said as he knew
some of Mr.. Carpenters people about Calf
ney's, he thought he would call and see him,
as he was passing by. After some further con-
versation the stranger produced a bottle and
offered Mr.. Carpenter a drink. He at first
declined, saying to the donor, "You drink
first" The stranger excused himself, saying
that ho took a drink just before reaching camp.
but insisted IN Mr.. Carpenter taking some.
Mr.. Carpenter finally put the bottle to his
mouth and swallowed but a small quantity,
when the horseman took the bottle, returned it
to his pocket and rode away. Soon thereafter
MI. Carpenter was taken violently sick, with

LETTER FROM FORT MILL.

FORT MILL, September 5.-Peace reigns
throughout the 'cut off," The Fall fights
have not begun. However astonishing
this may be, it is lone the less true.
Whether the morals of the community
have improved, or their purses been de-
pleted to a state of unWarlike %leanness,
either of which might be assigned as a
reason for unprecedented quiet, may be a
matter of speculation for those who like
to weigh causes in the balance with effects
still, the quiet fact remains.
Contemplating has commenced, and the
laborer is prospectively enriched. The
farmer and merchant are thankful for a
better crop than has blessed US for three
or four years, but are now face to face
with enormous back debts and they only
hope for a tolerable degree of satisfaction.
New cotton began to come in last week.
We believe DIR. ]. E. Massey had the first
two bales, brought from WaxhaW on last
Thursday. Mr.. Sutton brought in a bale
on the same day.
The factory is progressing with reasona-
BILE speed. The tWenty-one cottages are
rapidly approaching completion, and the
main building is assuming shape. On last
Thursday some of the citizens met and
laid the corner stone of the main building.
A good deal of sickness prevails though
not much of it is serious.
On last Friday there was a picnic at the
Green Pond school-house under the aus
pices of the Sunday-school at that place.
A goodly crowd was in attendance, and
everything passed off pleasantly.
A protracted meeting is in progress at
Philadelphia M. f. Church. On next
Wednesday one will begin in the Presby-
terian Church hele.
The negroes have been enjoying a series
of protracted meetings also, at their va
rious churches. ANON.
